Hey everyone,

It's been a pretty crazy week haha!!!!!  So we had a lot of exchanges this week.  I went with Elder Ban on Thursday and that was pretty sweet, and on Saturday I went with Elder Okereke!!!!  Both of these guys are amazing!!!!  They are such hard workers and they know how to have fun haha!!!!!!

 Luckily we have been able to make some progress this week with visiting a few members and other things like that.  We were able to get our water fixed and now we have water!!!!!!

We have been working pretty hard with some of our investigators and now we have some committing to a baptism date!!!!!  And, well, the bishop of our ward wants us to try and baptize some people this weekend, so we'll see how that goes.  We met a lot of less actives [members who aren't coming to church for one reason or another] and other members with the bishop yesterday.  We have also had a cool chance to meet with some referrals given to us through the ward missionaries.  Other than that, things are coming along haha!!!!!

So get this, I was stuck on our Polytank for a few hours haha!!!!!!!  So a Polytank is something that holds all the water for the apartment, and Lambson wanted some clean water to wash our clothes with, so he got me to go in the Polytank.

Mom's take:  I'm sure the other people in the apartment appreciate this, happy they can't see this picture!!!

When I got in I was able to get him the water, but when I tried to get back out, that was a little less than smooth haha!!!!  I was sweating like crazy cuz of all the heat and humidity trapped in there, it was like when I first arrived in Ghana haha!!!!

So luckily, my companion was able to get me out, cuz if he wasn't able to, then I'd be in there for a long long time haha!!!!!!

Hope you all had an amazing week.  Thank you all, I can't express my joy for all of you and how much you give me strength on my mission.  Being here and hearing from all of you has made this so much easier.  Thank you all, and I love all of you!!!!!  Be safe, and don't do anything too crazy ok?!!!!

Love,
Elder Stockton Smith
